And we're under way again, no more changes as yet.

Luke Buxton's been back in touch via Twitter to say: "Fully expected the man Russell to score, albeit from the penalty spot, but a goal non the less. Interesting 2nd half ahead." Let's hear from some Rovers fans out there too!

The Rochina injury turned out to be a turning point in the first half, Rovers changed shape when he went off and Derby looked much more comfortable as a result. It's a funny old game.

Derby have not lost their first league fixture of the season since 2008, but Rovers have won the last five meetings between the two clubs.

Kean slides forward to colelct a deflected shot on the skiddy surface - its been raining at Pride Park.

Rhodes somehow gets a knock down to Rochina, who stabs his shot wide from near the oenalty spot in the Derby area.

2
Judge tries a shot from around 20 yards, but he gets underneath it and Grant watches it loop into the seats behind him.

Spurr's long throws up the left flank give Rovers some early momentum.

And we're off!

Derby in their white home kit, Rovers in their rather natty red away strip.

The teams are out, being led out by Roy McFarland and Brian Douglas, great names from Rovers and County respectively.

Rovers keeper Paul Robinson, in the Sky TV studio at Pride Park, says the mood around his club is vastly improved on last season. It will have to be for an improvement on last season.

Luke Buxton says: "Watch out for Derby's new striker Russell, he's been on fine form in pre-season (sent from the comfort of my living room)"

An east Midlands rival reckons a draw is on the cards: "I'm a Leicester City fan, I hope Blackburn will draw vs Derby, hope for a 2-2 draw but I think 1-1." says FootballMemes.

Ollie Clark Puyol, possibly not his real name, tunes in from LA, man: "Trying to watch Rovers all the way in Los Angeles! Going for a 3-1 Rovers win with 2 goals for Rhodes!" Get in touch like Ollie did on Twitter @TimOscroft.

Derby boss Nigel Clough is the longest serving manager in the Championship, having been appointed in January 2009. His Rovers counterpart Gary Bowyer was only installed permanently in May after a caretaker spell in succession to Michael Appleton.

Derby keeper Lee Grant starts for the Rams after six years away from Pride Park, having rejoined on a free transfer this summer.

As for Blackburn, Rovers fans must be hoping for stability after the traumas of last season, but what can they hope for in 2013-14? Let me know @TimOscroft on Twitter or tim.oscroft@bskyb.com on email. Don't forget to say where in the world you are - tuning in from the beach? Trekking in the Himalayas? Curtains drawn in the living rom? I want to know!

So, what's on the agenda this term? Can Derby make a realistic push for promotion after a mid-table finish last season?

What do you make of those line-ups? Get in touch with me on Twitter @TimOscroft, or drop me a line via email on tim.oscroft@bskyb.com. Let me know where in the world you are, what your hopes for this season are and I'll publish some of the best comments on here this afternoon.
